mikeshoup Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I talked to a lady earlier today selling an 86 EA81 Hatchback. She's asking $500. She says it has a hole somewhere in the exhaust, needs a new ignition switch (I'm not sure why, I need to ask), needs a new brake fluid reservoir (I'm guessing it needs a new master cylinder really), and a CV joint. She says it has a new alternator, distributor, radiator, and has no rust. Is it worth $500? I'm thinking I can talk her down, she sounded desperate. I'm thinking like $350 is what I'd spend on it.

75subie Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 is it 4wd? $350 sounds like a fair price to me, hatches are getting hard to come by in decent shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 This is the CL posting: http://denver.craigslist.org/car/165550666.html Yeah, 4spd 4WD. Since its a 4spd, I can be assured she's talking about an EA81 hatch, right? and not the EA82 3dr coupe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 yup, it sounds like an ea81 hatch alright, ea82s didn`t have 4sp's. after fixing all that wrong with it, you could probly have a nice clean hatch for under $600-700 wich isn`t bad in my opinion.

Caboobaroo Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 yes, it will be an EA81 Mike. Since it is 4wd AND has a few new parts in it, 500 sounds like a fair deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I saw that one on CL, depending on condition of the body, it could easily be worth the $500. Of course you want to get as cheap as possible. Oh and defintely an EA81, no EA82's had 4-speeds. Jerry went through months of looking at hatches, so he is one that should chime in here. I swear he looked at least 10 different ones.

mikeshoup Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 but don't forget that EA81 wagon that's up here either Mike;);) Yeah, I know. When do you think you'll be done with that intake swap or whatever you're doin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 umm well Bill is out of town this weekend and hopefully I can finish it up next weekend. Also got a new door on it since the driver rear had a huge dent in it but all is well now:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 I think I'll pass on this hatch. If any of you Colorado guys want to look at it, she wants to sell it by mid-day tomorrow. I can give you her phone number if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
